Chapter 37: Tariq the Informant (3) Shocked
Hearing these last words, Tariq, who had already walked into the doorway, stopped, turned around and came outside again, looked at the two visitors in front of him, and then glanced at the car parked across the street, then nodded and said:
"I know this, Elder Vanu handed me things when he left, and you come with me."
Tariq turned around and walked into the building, and followed him after a few steps.
"All the best, we're in."
Lezi told Da Lei, Ren and the two who were guarding outside to answer him, and they also followed in quickly.
"You're crazy enough to swagger into here like this, and Cohen knows to get me in trouble."
The building was too dark, and when I passed through a hall, I didn't see a few foreigners sitting in the corner drinking there, there were women standing by these people, and they were not local women, those people raised their wine glasses to greet Tariq after seeing Tariq, Tariq raised his hand and casually perfunctory, and took the two of them quickly through the hall to a room in the back, and as soon as he entered the door, Tariq couldn't help but complain about Cohen's connection.
"Mr. Tariq, I'm sorry, it's not Cohen's fault, we can't help it, the matter is urgent, we have to come to you for help, I hope you can understand."
Nor explained, Tariq glanced at the two in front of him again, then waved his hand and said:
"Forget it, I'm just saying, don't take it to heart, but you broke into here in broad daylight, and you did take risks, there will be armed people in this town at any time, you are lucky today, by the way, what is the relationship between you and Cohen, he will never introduce outsiders here to contact me."
"We are friends in life and death, friends in life."
Hearing Yifei's response, Tariq nodded:
"Cohen called me last night after you broke up at the airport, and I now know a little bit about what you're here for, and he asked me to help you here as much as possible, but I'm going to tell you that your plan is going to be hard to succeed, don't get your hopes up."
Tariq said as he handed the envelope he was holding in front of Yifei:
"Take a look, maybe there's what you're looking for."
Yifei and Lezi were a little surprised when they heard this, the two looked at each other, and then pulled out a stack of photos from the envelope.
The first few photos are all long shots, an abandoned factory located at the foot of the mountain, you can see armed men patrolling there in the factory area, and then some close-up photos and close-ups of the armed men guarding there, but looking at it, one of the photos fixed the eyes of the two of them, outside a collapsed wall, facing the sun, there is a person squatting in the corner of the wall with his head in his hands, although he didn't see this person's face clearly, but he didn't know that the person squatting on the ground was the Feng Shaolan they were looking for.
The two stared at Tariq in front of them with wide eyes, and then quickly flipped through the photos behind, and found Feng Shaolan's shadow in several of the photos, and one of them even caught Feng Shaolan's clear picture of pain, which made them sure.
"How did you do that? How do you know that the person we're looking for will be there? ”
He asked in confusion.
"I don't know, Cohen just said that you are looking for a defector, that this person is very important to your government, that people from Sojie came to me during the day yesterday, and they said that Sojie's training camp did not stop all night, and after dawn some reporters from the news agency went to the camp to inquire about the news, and it was not until I received a call from Cohen in the evening that I linked the change there with your lost target, and originally wanted to send someone there to investigate there during the day today, But before I could make a move, I suddenly found a rare visitor here early this morning, and it was the arrival of this person who made me suspicious. ”
Yifei and Lezi held those photos in their hands and listened quietly like this.
"The man who came is named um and is the leader of a group of militants who are roaming around the area, he is cunning and cruel, I have secretly helped him a few times when he is not yet a climate, and later through his connections I have also raised some much-needed weapons and equipment for him, he trusts me more, some time ago his team was scattered by the victorious guerrillas entrenched in this vicinity, and it is even said that he was killed in the conflict, and today he suddenly appeared very much to scare me, but his request to me was greatly beyond my expectations, um came here and asked me to help him and connect him with Ghassani. ”
"What is this Ghassani for? What does it have to do with this one called um ? ”
"Ghassani is the leader of that guerrilla force, he is the real power figure in this area, and the people under his command are very capable of fighting, and several confrontations with the government and army of the Sashi government have not allowed the other party to bargain for anything, but this Ghassani cannot allow other tribal forces to get involved in the sphere of influence he operates, and um is broken up by him because of this."
"Is there anything unusual about this? As far as I know, it happens here that big fish eat small fish. ”
"It's normal for some small armed factions, but it's not normal to happen to Um, originally Ghassani wanted to incorporate Um's team, but Um didn't do it, so there was a series of conflicts after that, Ghassani's purpose is to completely eliminate it if it can't be used by him, it is said that Um's team was hit by Ghassani in the previous period, according to his previous practice, it should be waiting for an opportunity to seek revenge, but this time it was unusual, and took the initiative to ask for reconciliation, which makes me very suspicious."
"The other party~, will this Ghassani believe um in his confession?"
"I asked him the same thing, but um said that this time he came with sincerity, and only asked me to connect with the other party and bring him a message, I connected each other for each other and then withdrew, but I knew what the two of them said on the phone in the secret room, um said that in order to show sincerity, he would give Gasani a long-awaited gift, but he would talk in detail after the two met, and at this moment when we spoke, Ghassani and um should have already connected their heads."
"And where did you find these clues? Did you witness it with your own eyes? ”
Nor did I continue to ask questions.
"During the call between um and Ghassani, I chatted with the guards brought by um for a few words, but I would not ask these people directly, the slightest temptation could cost me my life, but the smell of their bodies and the dust of the car gave me some kind of information, so I can guess where they came to me, these people have a strong smell of cement, and the cars are covered with cement dust, and we only have a cement factory here......"
Tariq's remarks shocked Yifei and Lezi.
